I don't watch it because it's rib-splittingly funny, I watch it because I think the characters are adorable geeks and I want to shrink them all down to 3-inches and keep them around in my pockets.
EDIT: I don't even care. Reverse self-justification.

I like the new season. One of the things I really liked about that show in its early days is that, structurally at least, I thought it was really well written. Constantly ****ing with timelines, darting in and out of multiple storylines and going off on tangents. Slowly building a story and gradually building to a finale with very minor details dropped in here and there throughout its run.
Thats what I like about the new season. It's as if it finally got back on track after outstaying its welcome with a few mundane years. It was like the first four seasons seemed to be precise and focused, and then the creators and/or the network recognised it's potential as a cash cow and so dragged it out needlessly with another three to four seasons, and now they are focused again on the story as it was intended nine years ago.
